Time to Change is asking everyone to take five minutes on the 5th of February to have a conversation about mental health for Time to Talk Day. Whether you’re on campus, at work, at home, with friends or family, there are lots of ways to make your five minutes count.

Having a mental health problem is hard enough, but sometimes the isolation and stigma can make it even worse, says Time to Change. We can all help to break the silence.

You can log your five minutes on the interactive counter to help Time to Change reach their goal of 24 hours’ worth of conversation. Visit www.time-to-change.org/uk for more!

Here are some ideas to get you started;

Tell people about the campaign – This can be in person or online!

Share the Time to Talk Day film and images online

Give a digital ‘high-five’ telling someone how they’ve supported your mental wellbeing and nominate others to do the same
